Urban Greening funds projects that transform the built environment into places that are more sustainable, enjoyable, and effective in creating healthy and vibrant communities by establishing and enhancing parks and open space, using natural solutions to improving air and water quality and reducing energy consumption, and creating more walkable and bikeable trails.

California Natural Resources Agency released the grant guidelines, application, and eight technical assistance workshops for Urban Greening Grant, Round 2. Potential applicants do not need to attend all workshops to get information about applying to the program. The first workshop is February 14th in Sacramento, RSVPs are requested.

On November 14, 2017, the California Natural Resources Agency announced $76 million in funding for 39 green infrastructure projects through the state’s Urban Greening Program, including three projects in the Sacramento region (Urban Greening Grant Award Press Release).

Based on information from the final guidelines for the Urban Greening Grant Program, SACOG compiled pertinent data layers in a mapping site to help project sponsors assess the competitiveness of potential projects. (see scoring breakdown)
